Time Travel

October the First Is Too Late (1966) rings a bell for me as it starts off in a Scottish setting!

Regarding Hoyle:

He, himself, considered the name 'big bang' an apt but innocent phrase for a theory to which he was opposed.

In 1949, Hoyle communicated with the public by way of giving lectures on BBC radio, so had no visual aids to liven up his descriptions and had to rely on the spoken word.

In a later interview, Hoyle said: "You had to have something vivid. So I thought up ‘the big bang’. Words are like harpoons. Once they go in, they are very hard to pull out.”

He should have gotten the Nobel for stellar nuclear synthesis.
 
Section 9 of the Roommate Agreement:

If one of the roommates ever invents Time Travel, the first stop has to aim exactly five seconds after this clause was signed.

Leonard signs, they wait five seconds, nothing happens, and Sheldon says, "That's a pity"! 😊
 
"Ooh La La" is a great Faces song written by Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane and covered by Rod Stewart among others. It contains the line "I wish I knew then, what I know now"; but if you did, your life and others around you would be quite different.

It's an interesting question to ask someone " if you lived you life again, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently ?".
Partly to see what implications their different actions might have, and the knock on effects, and to see what they value in life.
 
Pearl Harbour would still have happened in my history, but the Nimitz would not exist. The only thing it would change is the histories of those on board the Nimitz, who are now in an alternate reality. Good for them perhaps, but maybe not so good for all the people the Nimitz has served over the course of its operations.

2403 people killed in Pearl Harbour.
The Nimitz has been in service since 1975, and is still active. If she never existed, would more than 2403 people have lost their lives? Hmm 🤔
 
Atoms don't have a timeline. Only conscious beings have timelines. When a being travels to the past, it creates a branch in time. The original timelines of all beings are destroyed, and 2 timelines are generated.

Did no-one else watch Endgame?
 
The Marvel movies are well-known for researching, and consulting the leading experts. The studio naturally anticipated the plot-hole complaints, and prioritised the latest theories.

Endgame is the 5th highest grossing movie of all time, adjusted for inflation.
 
I did watch a program on Einsteins equations that talked about this possibility of time travel not being ruled out mathematically but don't the equations also seem to say that to do so would need an almost infinite amount of energy. ?
So we could do it if we could go back in time and capture the Big Bang, which would need a really big Klein bottle.
If Tachyons exist how would we find them?
Do we need to slip sideways and capture a new Big Bank in a parallel universe and bring it back home and how do we time it so that the capture takes place at the most energy dense period before expansion take place
 
I loved 12 Monkees when it came out, recommended it to some mates at work and they gave me a real serve on the following Monday, one feller even claimed he'd walked out of "That Rubbish" same group simply loved all of the Marvel franchise
